You Will Need (3 things)

  • Sewing Machine
  • Thread
  • 1 Shorts

Steps (5 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Find your old pair of white or any light colored jeans or go and buy them second hand, I got this pair for just 1 euro, so it is cheap! Then cut them into shorts.

  2. 2

    Get a ruler and a pencil and mark a row dots as in the picture. Leave about 3 cm space in between, and another row of dots about 2 cm under each dot.

  3. 3

    Sew a crossing pattern from dot to dot with a zigzag stitch. You should get one row of the black pattern. Then leave enough space in between, repeat the last step and sew another pattern in the same way.

    I decided to go with a simple triangle pattern in the middle but you can do what pleases you.

  4. 4

    Grab some fun colored threads and sew in the triangles and squares.

  5. 5

    Cut off all the excess threads and you have got yourself an awesome new pair of shorts!
